Ok, here u have to post your REAL LIFE stats, such as u guesstimate them to be. If u r higher or lower than average in something, u must also post a brief explanation why. O and you're all D&D geeks, so anyone claiming 18 Charisma will be banned on the spot :angry: Keep in mind most people would be average, thats why its there. Ted Strength: 8 (I am scrawny, I would rate myself lower if I didn't see so many skinny unhealthy Goths around the place). Dexterity: 12 (Slightly above average motor skills) Constitution: 8 (Tend to get colds easily, very unfit) Intelligence: 17 (Selective school etc, definitely in the top percentile - would say 18 but I am well aware there r people a lot smarter than me!) Wisdom: 12 (Slightly wiser than average - I have met some really average people... and then there are those who ring talk-back, many of them would get a 6 or 7 for Wisdom I reckon...) Charisma: 10 (Below average looks, above average charm average everywhere else). I guess this would make me magic-user in the D&D universe, hiding away in some tower with my scrolls, inventing new spells - or 'modding' as they call it nowdays
Strength: 13 I'm a pretty big guy with a decent amount of brute strength. Dexterity: 9 I have a bad habit of bumping into things and stubbing my toes. Constitution: 11 I rarely get sick, but I'm not exactly in shape. Intelligence: 15 I'm very intelligent, but not a genius Wisdom: 13 I'm not a great sage by any means, but I'm fairly perceptive and level-headed. Charisma: 10 Average looks, average charm. If you'd asked me about 5 years ago when I was going to martial arts full-time, I'd have bumped Strength, Con and Dex up a point or two each.
Keep in mind that I am factoring in the age penalties/bonuses as I am 35 now. 10 years ago, while I was still in the marines, my str, dex and con would have definately been higher. Strength: 12 I'm good sized, and still have remnants of strength from my glory days Dexterity: 10 clutzy as a youth, but have great hand eye coordination / manual dexterity Constitution: 10 I don't often get sick, but when I do, it's usually something nasty Intelligence: 14 I'm a pretty smart guy, a quick study, good at everything 'cept math Wisdom: 16 great intuition, very self aware, have a good grasp on the "why" of things Charisma: 12 average looks +, good sense of humor and "witty" charm. I guess that I would most likely be a priest. I mentioned that I liked St. Cuthbert quite a bit in another post here somewhere.... Anyway, I'd definately be a priest of Cuthbert with the Law and Protection domain powers. Funny, I did study to be a pastor at one time. Looooooooooooooooooooooong story.
Strength: 11 Not scrawny, but not pumped by any means. Dexterity: 13 I'm quick on my toes, but not nimble enough to be a pickpocket. Constitution: 14 (reduced to 12 - temporary ability damage - due to smoking) Intelligence: 15 I'm good with logic puzzles. Wisdom: 13 I'm not so good with intuition. Charisma: 14 I'm good looking, but I lack people skills.
strength: 12 - i'm pretty average at the moment, though i was probably 15 or 16 when i used to work out. i should start doing that again. dexterity: 6? 10? 12? i suck at anything that involves dextrous movement (like REALLY REALLY HORRIBLY), but i'm really good at timing and aiming (??) consitution: 0 - hah i don't know, i've survived the most messed up crap, but my health isn't getting any better. my back and neck is severely messed up, my spine is crooked and I'm soft-jointed (hypermobile). On the other hand, i can feel what's going on in any individual part of my body if i concentrate well enough on it. my doctors and physiotherapists like this, as it makes diagnosing really easy for them. Right now I'm kind of overweight, but I suppose standard by most norms. I used to be severely underweight, and before that, almost obese. intelligence: 8? 12? 18? 25? i don't know ... my most recent IQ test said 169 and i've been offered a membership with MENSA, but i can be pretty dumb and extremely distrait, forgetting the weirdest things at the most inconvenient times. i'm often completely oblivious to my surroundings. But strangely aware of wildlife and environmental changes around me. I'm really bad in traffic. But I guess that's related to my poor dexterity skills, hehe. wisdom: well, as far as willpower goes, somewhere between 16 and 18 (6? 12? 19? 25?). I guess I'm what you'd call a survivor? I'm good at adapting to my surroundings (as oblivious as I can be to them at the same time). And I'm generally a pretty good judge of character. I'm good at figuring people out. I should be by now anyway, considering the number of shady people i've dealt with in my time. the head of an astrology college once offered me a full scholarship because i apparently was "really in touch" with my spiritual side, and therefore good at reading people and giving advice. or something. charisma: 16? well eheh despite my social ineptcy, i used to get groupies. i still would if i didn't go out of my way to advertise that i have a girlfriend now. also, people just generally seem to LIKE me for some reason. i don't know why, i guess i'm just nice. or something. On a not so related note, cultist seniors seem to want me to join their ranks too. Until they realise I think they're insane. Even then, they sometimes still persist. I have some funny stories about that. I also once inadvertently gained a cult-like following in Florida after visiting Jacksonville once. Sort of like Fight Club, but not really. Also, no one got into fights, they just started "Joe" characters in various computer games and RPGs, modelled after ... um... my alter ego. The second time I visited Jacksonville, complete strangers (often geeks at LAN parties or netcafes hehe) would come up to me and be like "... YOU'RE JOE?!? OMG!!!" and i'd be like "uhh... yeah??? :O". It was really odd. If I were to be a D&D character class, I'd probably be a Bard of some sort. I can't imagine what the hell else I'd be able to do. Sorceror, druid or psionicist with priest-like spells (with no deity). Bumbling fool maybe? hehe.
